The latest honor lathered on “The One” unleashed a wave of widespread snickers recently. Seems that earlier, while we slept, a furtive clique of Machiavellian types met behind closed doors for a stealth tribute to Obama.
And what merits this covert distinction?
Hold on, here it comes...
...Barack’s enduring commitment to the principles of transparency.
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
If ever we needed an example of not losing sleep over lost irony, Obama's the man. In the style of a true achiever, he lowered the bar beyond the reach of all competition.
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
Ohmygod, I’m better now, but I’m not sure I can finish writing. Today’s post was supposed to be about metaphors and analogies, as in “Obama is to transparency as a whore is to chastity” but I can’t continue. I’m too weak from laughter.
Instead, let’s close with this: What noise is heard when someone receives a secret award for openness? Answer: The sounds of no hands clapping.
C’mon, give it up! You can applause for that.
